    Calm Families in 7 Mins or Less

    Calm Families in 7 Mins or Less

    Does everything feel like a struggle to you?
     
    if you're a parent with kids 12 and under, looking to have peace in your family while also raising respectful kids who listen to you without you having to yell at them, but you don’t know how to do that and also stay regulated, maintain boundaries or even understand your kids’ behaviors - here’s what you need to know.
    Chances are you're falling into one or more of the common traps that smart, good parents get into without even realizing it. 
    On this episode we explore those common traps and we go though what you need to know in order to get out of those traps and go from Roller Coaster Parent to Powerfully Grounded Parent in 90 days.
     
    This episode is for you if you are…
     
    Yelling at your kids because it’s the only way they listen, but yelling feels wrong and you immediately regret it and feel guilty.
    Overwhelmed by the endless to do list, no time to take courses or attend calls.
    Tried all the things: books, free trainings, courses but nothing has worked.
    Counting the hours until bedtime or school time so you can catch a break.
    Kids push back on everything and you don’t know how to have boundaries without squashing your child’s spirit.
    From the moment the kids wake up it’s a struggle to get out of bed, dressed, shoes on and ready to get out the door on time for school.
    Disrespect and defiance: kids speaking rudely to you.
     
    And all you want is…
    Peace for more than 10 mins at a time. 
    Easier time parenting. 
    Cooperation 60%-70% of the time. 
    More fun together as a family. 
    Having less guilt and not worrying constantly about what kind of grown up your kids will become. 
    Yelling less, not feeling like your buttons are pushed non stop.

    Birth is not just about your baby being born…..

    Birth is not just about your baby being born…..

    Eye opening convo with an amazing woman, mother and birth coach: Ella Goldberg is a mom of two boys and a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator with a background in maternal and child health. Through her online courses, she supports expecting parents as they navigate pregnancy through postpartum. Ella and her family reside in Israel, and spend their summers at camp in the Pocono Mountains.
     
    We talked about why many women struggle to release their birth stories even though both they and their baby turned out fine….What is a Birth coach and why should we consider one? ….What to do if you had a baby and are now expecting #2 or #3 - Do you still need a coach?....What if you’re not expecting but you are still hurt by how your birth experience unfolded?
     
    Ella is compassionate, knowledgeable, interesting, smart and an absolute joy to talk to - I hope you enjoy this fascinating interview!

Gregory Wieting ,

Super insightful host

I appreciate Rachel’s super conversational tone. She brings a much needed critical lens in exploring how to parent and do life differently. Real life discussions and real life solutions.

Lisa Sugarman ,

Rachel Duffy is the real deal and so is her podcast

As someone who has the privilege of regularly talking on parenting podcasts, I’ve experienced a range of different hosts and what I can tell you about Rachel is that she’s the real deal. She made being a guest on Unscrew You a true pleasure by asking thought-provoking and meaningful questions to really get at the heart of why we parent the way we do. Her podcast is insightful and refreshing and, most importantly, makes you feel like you’re talking about the ins and outs of parenting with an old friend. I highly recommend you give it a listen and a follow.

David K Richards ,
